How to Read Your Meter

Start by locating your meter box, which is generally black with a blue lid and located near the entrance to your property.  The lid can be lifted by inserting a large screwdriver and prying the lid off.

Once you have removed the meter box lid, lift the protective cap on the meter. On the face of the meter, there is a large dial with a display of numbers. Read the number display from left to right, including the stationary zero. This is your meter reading. Water use is billed in 100 gallons.
